This is the last page that takes place in the dining room :) :) I’m so happy. Next few pages are going to be so kickass, only 5 pages left in the chapter!!

And now for some webcomics pimpery, you should really go take a look at this fantastic comic that was brought to my attention… it is called reMind and the art is amazing. I have to mention the art first because of course that is the first thing that caught my eye, but the story is also very well done and as original as they come (it has lizard people which is an immediate plus for me). I swear to god, webcomics nowadays are getting better and better. Everyone should feel so lucky that this kind of reading material is free to enjoy! Anyways, go take a look!

Your recent updates makes me feel so spoiled. Awesome art all over and lots of exciting and story driven stuff happening. You rock! :D And I want to draw Dagre sooo bad right now…
And hey, grats on passing those CSETs!! :D

I love that you can read Luca’s thought process from panel to panel as he responds to Dagre’s words. The lighting is spectacular as always, and visibly adds to the shift in his emotions; it’s rather interesting to me to see his face downcast and shadowed but in the end he’s “looking into the light” of Dagre’s eyes. It’s like the path for him to walk has suddenly been made obvious and he sets himself to do so. It’s great!

Although, I can say that Dagre (in panel 5) looks like he is trying to be convincing, but can’t help to feel smug that his plan for manipulating Luca is going so well. Almost like, at first glance he looks expectant yet sad, then you look again and you see an evil grin behind it.

That cinnamon-flavored cupcake. >:( He really knows how to manipulate Luca, kind of off-handedly threatening what the poor guy’s got left…

And here, I was thinking that Luca might try to make a deal or something, since Dagre’s a heap-big-powerful-spirit. …’Course, I dunno what all Dagre can do…
But, of course, Luca’s not in his right mind as well. …This chapter is powerful.

Luca is good stuff. I like villains who are villaining in the name of love, or heartbreak, or For The Greater Good. It means more when they’re defeated or killed at the end. Then you get an audience that’s all yay! The world isn’t going to be razed! But then they’re all waaaah! when you hit them with a final panel of the villain seeing visions of their dead wife or whatever as they’re coughing up their perforated stomach. Conflicted audience is win.

That tiger though, he’s a jerk. I wonder if he’s evil for the sake of evil or if he, too, has an unjustly slain dead wife somewhere. HUMANITY CHOKED HIS TIGER-WIFE SO HUMANITY MUST DIE.

Ohmyfreakinggod, I love Dagre’s messed up talking, it takes me a couple times to read what ever he’s saying, but then I just get a better feel for what it would sound like if he were actually talking and oooohhhhhhh poor Luca!!! :(

Hoo boy. This doesn’t look good for the ambassadors. They’ll either be sent back to Caris with news of war, or summarily executed, and their heads sent back. Given Luca’s mood, I’m betting on the latter.

Ahh man, what a way to give him an offer he can’t refuse. I feel bad, he’s totally twisting Luca’s arm, but what can Luca do, really? He’s his love and part of his sanity, so I imagine he’s vulnerable and willing to do anything to compensate for his loss, even if it means bargaining with a devil itself.

“Pe-ople” should be “Peo-ple” when Dagre splits it with his monosyllabic-drool-speak. It would be more Pee-o-pull when read the way it is now. Otherwise, I love Luca’s recovery here. I always feel better when my kitties headbutt me, too.

I bet the cleaning staff is confused as to why there’s always fur and puddles everywhere when the Emperor has to make a big decision >_>

I really love the second to last panel. The bright light makes you focus on his eyes, so he seems sort of beseeching, but as your eyes travel down you see that barely hidden line of pointy teeth and he just looks sinister. Dagre is a manipulative bastard and I love him <3

Hi, i’m from DA, i loved your comic, i’m so waiting for the outcome.
I find very sad that Phe has to die =( but i also like it in a way that it was totaly unexpected. You really know how to keep people at the edge!
and the coloring!!! awesome!!! and it’s so much work too!!!……………. hahahaha i guess i have just become a fan of this comic hahahahahaha

Hopefully it was obvious from the chapter that he’s conscious of what he’s doing. Ie he’s not being hypnotized into behaving a certain way or anything. But the motivations driving his decisions are the main issue XU

EPIC! Can’t wait to see what happens next! Also, I am kind of confused as to what happened to Phe. Did she choke and saving her went sour? Was she poisoned? Dagre is making it sound like this was no accident. I’m so confused! But intrigued!

You know, when the second chapter started, I thought it was going to be that really boring part of the comic where not much happens. BUT HOLY AJSHFKLJSHFKJ I’M PULLING OUT MY HAIR!!! I MUST KNOW HOW IT CONCLUDES!!!

just five more pages to goooooo NYAAAAAGGHGHHH Dagre, WHADYA GOT UP YOUR… FUR… SLEEVE METAPHOR THING???? I swear, no matter what Luca does, he’s going to be my favorite character. I always fall in love with the sympathetic-type ones T__T

Dagrrrraaaaaahhhh, I cannot take you seriously with your tongue hanging out like that. I want to poke it. >_<
Mmm, I feel bad for Luca. Emotion-based decisions suck.
But I still think it would be funny if Dagre was like, "I already told you! Kill them all! DUUUHHHHH" [floppy tongue smack].

In other news – finally, a baddie who's both manipulative AND violent! A lot of the "devil on your shoulder" kinds of bad guys I've seen are basically cowards. It doesn't seem so with Sir Slinky Neck. That's his name now btw.

I am sure it’s already been said but that second panel is sort of amazing. Something about it, I can just really see the motion in it. Like I can imagine him moving his head up and eyes to look at Dagre. And it looks awesome.

Both you and Sarah Ellerton plugged that one comic xDD maybe I need to add it into my very small read list…

There’s a lot of words in this panel which are awkward with Dagre’s sight dialect. Like “allow”, because of the double ‘L’, “Caris” and “children” because they split into other English words, and “people” because of that silent “O” that looks like it should be non-silent when split up no matter which syllable you attach it to.

Could I suggest splitting up “children” as “CHIL DREN” so that we don’t momentarily read the first syllable as having a long i?

hahaha I thought for a second those streaks of white in Panel 2 were spatters of drool before I realized that it was Dagre’s whiskers. Thuffering Thuchotash! splat splat splat.

also I know that is dagre’s looong long neck but I totally thought ” monorail cat ” ugh Dagre is so creepy-cute. And there goes Luca. Suck it up brother and go lay the law down. I guess if he didn’t do it this way we wouldn’t have a story

Whatever war Luca was in in the past HAS to be somehow connected to the fight Grandfather and Dagre had if not THE SAME war… It would explain to a point why Dagre is so blood thirsty towards Caris, and why Angora was warned to beware of Luca. Dagre, through the pain and torture Luca went through during the war and the death of Phe ((T____T)), has the manipulative advantage to turn Luca into a madman.

I think Dagre is pretty original among demonic beings bent on world destruction. He/she could have gone for the classic glow-in-the-dark eyes. But no. He/she went for the flashlight-in-your-face eyes ( 5th panel )

Sersiously, it’s so nice to read all these awesome works for free! Oh man, so close to the end of the chapter!!! I don’t want to see the kids all upset, though. :( For some reason, I imagine Phe’s funeral as Queen Amedala style, I dunno why. Aw, I can’t believe Phe is really dead, I loved her character so much!

I have to confess I am annoyed with you. As you quite obviously have the technology to travel through time on the internet it seems rather annoying that you have not utilised it to produce a WayFRONT engine, especially as from my studies of Einstein I have come to gather that travelling forward in time is a much easier trick to pull off (I am doing it myself at the rate of one second per second – I would also submit that it has always been much easier to accelerate than to change gear and reverse).

May I suggest that when you start this long overdue project you start with the domain http://www.meekcomic.com. In doing so you will be providing a valuable service to ALL on the internet (but especially me).

Hey,
I don’t usually leave messages on comics, but I just wanted to say that this latest arc has been incredible. The tension you’re building is immense, and the art is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much! x

This comic really threw me for a loop when the country of Caris was introduced ’cause, hey, that’s my given name. Now it kinda makes me feel like I was ruled by a horrible murderer and I am hated by a neighboring emperor.

Dagre used PEP TALK. It’s super effective…
That broken yet determined look is so fascinating to see on Luca. And DAMMIT! Why is it that when I look at Dagre, I see the Catbus from Totoro? Now I’m gonna see his drooping mug the next time I watch that movie,

I have never seen anyone capture emotion quite so poignantly as this. He doesn’t just look distraught, he doesn’t just look torn up inside. Panel two, he looks dead inside. So many authors like to describe someone as looking hollow. I have never seen anyone manage to capture it in drawing, not this well.

That is the face of a man who has the potential to do anything. Lord have mercy…

This page. Every time I reread it, it doesn’t matter, it’s still so intense. The shadows and colors are breathtaking, literally, they make you stop and pause with the panels and widen your eyes more and more.
